I'm not from India but whenever we come to visit family there, they always use tap water for cooking and its usually fine because when the water boils, it becomes pure. As an NRI i've only had issues with drinking water straight from the tap.

Aren't people who are born/grown up in India used to tap water? (Not to offend, genuinely curious) Besides why would Bigg Boss house have dirty water??

Also Shilpa has been cooking for almost 2 months and Hina hasn't died of anything yet, so what's the big deal?

And why did Arshi bring up this topic when she herself uses tap water to make tea and cook?

This was just such a confusing topic and its really bad how Hina treats Shilpa like her servant. Puneesh is right, Shilpa should step out of the kitchen permanently and we'll see how the house copes.

I wish i was Big Boss. I would have told her right then Hina aapke pet mein kaise takleef nahi hogi?

1) Aap restroom use karne ke baad haath nahi dhoti. Sanitizer use karti hai

2) Pura pura din aap bistar mein pade rehkar chughalkhor chachi ban gayi ho. Koyi exercise nahi karti. Khaana kaise pachegaa? Khaane ki thaali le aane aur rakh aane ke liye bhi aapne sevak rakhe hue hai ab toh.

3) Khaate waqt bhi aap naak se chawanprash nikal rahi hoti hai...Phir unhi haathon se bhojan ka sevan karti hai.

Beemar hona aapka lazmee hai apee

you are right about 90% of Indian population still cooks from tap water.. in my home back in India they still do.. and I eat at home when I visit and never been sick.

According to ex contestant Sambhavana - BB house water is muddy and not suitable to use for cooking purpose, Hope this season they provided good water, otherwise shilpa would not have cook with the tap water, it has been 2 and half month since BB11 started no one not complained about food poisoning so far..
Arshi also did the samething still jugali kardi, Hina would have been more diplomatic and told Shilpa nicely, most of time she treat shilpa like her servant, Ja ja tho aapna kaam kar this is her fav dialogue.

Anti Shilpa troupe is gleefully waiting for WKW, kab ye topic utte, Kab hum Salman to bias kahe, let us see how Salman deals with this topic if it arise.

Khushal, Sambhavna Seth and many others are defending Hina on this matter. They said bb water is muddy and dirty. They should know na since they've been in the house. Even Vikas was saying the same thing.
I think Hina handled it very well and Shilpa despite knowing Hina's health is at stake, doesn't even bother to listen or compromise. Hina said she'll pour the water for Shilpa if Shilpa wishes so how is this treating Shilpa like a slave?

I wish and hope Shilpa doesn't go back in the kitchen. Maybe she'll finally start playing the game and stop being a bawarchi.

Born and raised in India. In our house, we have 2 different water lines. One from the tank which gets filled through a borewell and the other, a municipal line, which supplies drinking water. The Government releases water in the municipal lines on certain days of the week for just a couple of hours and we generally fill up our utensils with this drinking water which we then use for preparing meals.

For cleaning vegetables and cooking purposes, we ONLY use this drinking water. We DO NOT use TAP WATER at all for cooking. Forget cooking, my mom would scream at me if I used it for cleaning/washing veggies even 😆

Actually when she was talking to Shilpa, Hina was like "Meri kitchen ki duty nahi hai" when Shilpa asked her about filling up the water. Only when she was talking to Vikas, she backtracked and said that I will fill up the water. This would not have gone further if she had said it to Shilpa directly that she will fill up the water.

Shilpa made a big issue out of nothing. Everyone's stomach tolerance level is different so if it makes someone sick then don't use it. When I go to India with my brother, I can eat all street food but he gets sick.

Hina cant do any work properly. Even when she does I have seen it in extra dose and main episode doing "ohhh" "aaahhh" to gain sympathy that she is hurting while doing work till someone pays attetion to her and then says ok i will do it then she again says "no i will still do it"
So cant you just do your damn job?? I mean heights of playing a victim all the time.

On the contrary Shilpa does so much of work in the kitchen not just cooking, which includes chopping, making from scratch everything but she feeds everyone and then eats. When HMs overeat even after knowing that Shilpa still didnt eat, they dont give a damn and takes her food too... So with whatever is left Shilpa eats or sometimes she doesnt even eat properly, she cleans the kitchen counter. She cleans all the untensils then puts them away. Basically does 4 people's job during breakfast, lunch and dinner. So Hina cant compete with Shilpa's hard work. Hence to bring Shilpa down Hina keeps criticizing Shilpa on kitchen work and food she makes. Basically there is no help for Shilpa. If Hina was a good person she would have extended help seeing how much work Shilpa is doing. But NO such lazy lady Hina is!

It is very obvious, When Shilpa told her to fill RO water in a container and keep it ready in the morning, Hina straight out said "No its your job not mine"... If she is so worried about her health she would have done it. But Hina's intention was just to bring Shilpa down somehow.

In 2 months nothing happened and now Hina is having stomach problems after Arshi said Shilpa is using tap water??? How?? Btw Arshi also said in the same episode she also uses tap water. Then why Shilpa is always talked to like she is Hina's servant??

On topic: If the water is boiled, then it is usable and drinkable. Like Shilpa also mentioned the water gets boiled. Its not direct water Hina is given from the tap!

Sambhavna went on Bigg Boss season 2, its 11 now surely in 9 years the quality of tap water might have changed, no? I know the pool water is a hygeine problem but I don't think food was ever an issue. I want to know what Sabya used when cooking.

I still understand Hina being concerned but there's a way to put across such a matter, she handled it so badly
